Abstract

Abstract: STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, and Mathematics) education represents a global trend and practice of educational innovation. It promotes the development of 21st-century skills and competencies in students. In this sense, this research project addresses different elements focused on the development of STEAM educational strategies from a classroom perspective. The objective of the study is to determine the level of integration of the STEAM approach into the teaching-learning processes at the "La Dolorosa" Fiscomisional Educational Unit in the city of Loja, in the morning section, by analyzing the methodologies and resources used. Data will be collected through a quantitative survey. The questionnaire was applied to 50 teachers. The results reveal that 50% of teachers frequently plan lessons with a STEAM approach in mind. A positive attitude toward the approach and a pursuit of continuous learning improvement with STEAM as an innovative method were also identified. Furthermore, there is a challenge within teacher training regarding the use of this methodology in the institution and the country in general.
